==Grande Punto==
 
The third generation FIAT supermini to bear the name Punto, codenamed ''Project 199'', the Grande Punto was unveiled at the 2005 [[Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung|Frankfurt Motor Show]] and went on sale later that year. Styled by Giugiaro, the car is based on the [[GM Gamma platform#SCCS|Fiat/GM SCCS platform]]. Whilst the model shares some of its name with the previous Punto, a large number of its components are new, including a new chassis and body shell.
 
 
 
The engines are the Fiat 1.2 Fire 8v (65 hp), a new 1.4 Fire 8v (77 hp) and the 1.4 16v (95 hp). Four [[MultiJet]] [[diesel engine]]s are also available: two 1.3 16v units (75 hp and 90 hp, the latter with a [[variable geometry turbocharger]]) and two 1.9 with 120 and 130 hp, all of them with [[diesel particulate filter]]. All the engines are [[Euro IV]] compliant. In 2007 came new 1.4 T-Jet turbocharged
 
petrol engine (120 hp) available. In the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show Fiat introduced 155 hp [[Abarth]] version produced through the Abarth & C S.p.A. company and branded as an Abarth car rather than FIAT. The cars nose, headlights and front grill look reminiscent of the [[Maserati Coupe]], both were designed by [[Giorgetto Giugiaro]] of [[Italdesign Giugiaro|ItalDesign]].
 
 
 
The Grande Punto was awarded with 5 stars in the [[EuroNCAP]] [[crash test]] for passenger protection and Euro NCAP 3 star certification for pedestrian [[safety]]. The most powerful engines have [[electronic stability program]] and [[anti slip regulation]] fitted as standard, and it is an optional extra on some of the lower powered engines.
 
 
 
==Non-European markets==
 
In Australia, Fiat introduced the Grande Punto in mid 2006; it is the first Fiat to be sold in Australia since 1989. Shortly after its launch, the car (the 1.3L 90hp diesel) was recognised as the most economical car on the market.
 
 
 
The Italian-made Grande Punto has already been launched in [[Chile]], [[Mexico]] and [[Dominican Republic]], in petrol and diesel versions.
 
 
 
In the rest of [[South America]], the Brazilian-built Grande Punto (called just Punto) was launched in August 2007. Codenamed ''Project 310'', it is produced in the factory of [[Betim]], [[Minas Gerais]], [[Brazil]]. The chassis is a stronger version of the European version of the Grande Punto, due to the differences in the roads in developing countries. At the beginning, the five-door version will be the only available in the Brazilian line. The engines are the 85&nbsp;hp 1.4&nbsp;L FIRE 8v and the 115 hp 1.8 GM-Fiat/Powertrain, later the new Torque 1.9L with 8 and 16v must be available; with 121 and 134 hp. In Brazil, a flexible engine is available (they work on both gasoline and ethanol).
 
 
 
The Grande Punto also went on sale in [[South Africa]] in 2006, replacing the previous generation. It is sold with a variety of petrol and diesel engines, beginning at around R120,000.
 
 
 
A [[sedan]] version of the Grande Punto, the [[Fiat Linea]],  was launched in early 2007 to replace the aging [[Fiat Marea|Marea]]. It will be built on an extended version of the Grande Punto's chassis, giving a total length of 4600&nbsp;mm, making it jump to the [[small family car]] segment.
 
 
 
As for the Indian launch, it is expected to be until late 2007 for its launch followed by the Linea.
